Dear Geoffrey Wheatcroft, You Suck. Love (Psych), ICBR

09.20.2007

Philadelphia, PA – September 20, 2007

British author/columnist/ungrateful-prick Geoffrey Wheatcroft made an impassioned plea for the United Kingdom to discontinue its close alliance with the United States in his Wednesday op-ed piece in the New York Times. Postulating that the only positive outcome of “this really terrible war in Iraq” would be the cessation of the “special relationship” between Britain and the U.S., Wheatcroft cited the anti-American posturing of new P.M. Gordon Brown and the British Army’s recent retreat from Basra as possible indicators of such a sea change. The ICBR would like take this opportunity to write our own op-ed piece.

What the crap are you talking about Geoffrey Wheatcroft? Yeah, maybe we have had an on-off relationship since the end of the 18th Century but that’s mainly because you fought two wars against us, and supported our opposition in at least one other war. And despite all that, the US has come to your rescue on numerous occasions, throwing the soul of our nation at problems of your creation. Maybe it’s us who should be considering breaking up with you as you check out on us in Iraq. And leave us our 32 trillion dollars on your way out the door.
